We’re living in a moment where compassion is thinning and outrage is thickening, and it’s easy—even for believers—to run from the very people God is calling us to love. Jonah did exactly that. Sent to carry God’s mercy to a violent and hated city, he fled in the opposite direction. But God pursued him through a storm, a sea, and a fish—not to punish him, but to reclaim him.
Jonah’s plunge into the deep becomes a prophetic preview of Jesus: Jonah the reluctant prophet swallowed by death, Jesus the relentless Savior who enters the grave willingly and rises in victory. The story of Jonah shows a God who runs toward rebels, loves the undeserving, and calls His people to carry that same grace into a broken world. Tune in as we discover how God pursues us in our reluctance and invites us to join Jesus—the greater Jonah—in His mission of mercy.
